Re: Marty calling out Votto

You guys are such a bunch of homers. Votto has not produced in the 3 hole and I am glad he is being called on it. If Votto was a 2 hole guy, I would have no problem with his numbers. How many times does Votto go 2 strikes? A lot. That is not his job. His is to hit first strikes over the fence or in the gap. He is not doing that. You guys love shooting down anyone who yells that the emperor is naked. Well keep dressing this pig gentlemen because if this keeps up, we will not be playing ball deep in to October.

Re: Marty calling out Votto

I hope Votto gets a power surge soon, he's off his regular pace as of now and I do see him missing quite often on fastballs in the zone. I don't have an issue with asking more of Votto at this moment because I know he can deliver. I don't really like Marty's style of critique, though.

Votto has basically been the 2 hole hitter all year... he's been the second person in the lineup with a legitimate chance to get on base
